Don't blame us if we're a little bit skeptical about this, but apparently the National Enquirer is running with a story about O.J. Simpson supporting Paula Deen… like it somehow matters!

Seriously, the guy is behind bars! He could support literally ANYTHING and it would have very little effect on whatever's going on in the world — especially when it comes to a cooking show's host's downfall! LOLz!

The National Enquirer's source is Norman Pardo, who describes himself as O.J.'s manager. He had THIS to say about his client's Paula-supporting ways:

“O.J. doesn’t understand what the big deal is with Paula using the ‘n’ word in the past.”

The connection here is an extremely loose one, because as far as we know the only time their names have crossed paths before this was in 2002 when O.J. ate at her restaurant, The Lady & Sons. Paula went out of her way to serve them even though the place was closed.

We wonder what O.J. thinks about Edward Snowden? We're sure he's used a cell phone before! We bet his wisdom on that will be invaluable as well!

This isn't the first time the 39-year-old's figure has caused controversy. As we reported in January, the American Pie stunner was accused of using Photoshop to make her already narrow waist even smaller.

Reid has admitted to getting plastic surgery in the past to make changes to her abdominal area and breasts -- but the actress asserts that she naturally has a lean shape.
